On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 624 Father, Son, Brother
Yang Awu hoped to go to his parents' graves to worship. Cui Che felt something in his heart when he heard this.

Although he and Yang Jian had bad relations during the Renshou years, Cui Che never forgot the kindness between them as husband and wife.

"If you miss Guanzhong, you can go to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat next summer. Then you can bring Yang Hao with you to worship in front of the Second Saint's grave."

Cui Che said seriously.

After Yang Hao, the former emperor of the Eastern Sui Dynasty, abdicated, he was sent out of Jinyang and lived in seclusion every day, which was quite peaceful.

However, although Cui Che kept his promise and never attempted to murder him, he never relaxed his surveillance of Yang Hao.

Yang Awu said doubtfully:

"Your Majesty, won't you go with me?"

Cui Che said with emotion:
"I have reached middle age, and time has not waited for me. I should unify the nine states and make immortal contributions. How can I trouble future generations."

When the husband-in-law Cui Yanqing and Liu Fang rushed to the outside of Luoyang City with [-] elite cavalry, there were only a few days left before New Year's Eve.

Cui Qiji followed the orders of his father Cui Che and went out of the city to meet him.

It seemed that Cui Yanqing had [-] fine cavalry in his hands at this time, which seemed to be a threat to Luoyang's safety, but Cui Qiji knew in his heart that even if Cui Yanqing had the command of these [-] fine cavalry, it would not be enough to fully control them.

These [-] elite cavalry are the true direct descendants of the father, the generals in the army. They have followed him for many years and do not dare to have any thoughts of betrayal.

Therefore, Cui Qiji was not worried at all about Cui Yanqing taking the opportunity to launch a mutiny.

When [-] fine cavalry appeared in front of him under the leadership of Cui Yanqing, Cui Qiji did not feel any fear. Instead, he recalled the scene when he followed his father to Hebei and the Boling cavalry came to greet him.

"Big brother!"

After a long distance, Cui Yanqing couldn't wait to get out of the crowd and ran towards Cui Qiji waving alone.

Cui Qiji also showed a happy smile on his face:
"Third brother!"

The two are biological brothers with the same father and mother. Even if Cui Yanqing once had the slightest hint of competing for the throne, Cui Che put an end to it in time.

Therefore, the brothers Cui Qiji and Cui Yanqing did not dare to think about what was going on in their hearts, but they at least maintained a superficial harmony.

For the royal family, this is enough.

This superficial harmony is enough to give them a sense of security and prevent them from getting into a tense situation.

Cui Yanqing got off his horse and hugged Cui Qiji tightly. After the two of them expressed their love for each other, Cui Youzhi stepped forward to greet him:

"My nephew pays respects to Uncle Wang."

Cui Yanqing stroked Cui Youzhi's little head and said with a smile:

"King Wei has grown so big."

Cui Youzhi was at the age where his body was growing. He followed Cui Che to the south for more than half a year, and he did grow a lot taller.

Cui Yanqing asked:
"What can Badger gain by following his father in the southern expedition?"

Cui Youzhi has answered this question countless times since he returned to the court. His father asked him, his mother asked him, and even the imperial grandmother would ask him.

But Cui Youzhi did not feel irritated and still answered patiently:

"My nephew saw the hardships of people's livelihood, and saw how difficult it was for my grandfather to start a business."

Cui Yanqing nodded and said:

"Yes, it is not easy for my father to start a business, and we and our children and grandchildren should cherish it even more. If you can understand this truth, my father must also be pleased."

Cui Qiji smiled and said:
"Okay, don't gossip anymore. My father is still in Luoyang Palace and is eager to see you."

Cui Qiji is obviously also satisfied with Cui Youzhi, his son. As a prince, in addition to showing his ability to govern the country, the most important thing is to be favored in front of his father.

And Cui Youzhi is undoubtedly an important guarantee for his position as prince.

The more Cui Che dotes on Cui Youzhi, the less he will let his brothers have the opportunity to interfere with his position as Cui Qiji's crown prince.

The reason why Yang Guang was able to replace Yang Yong, in addition to his own reasons, was that his son Yang Zhao was favored, which was probably also an important reason why Yang Jian was determined and easy to lose.Liu Fang followed Cui Yanqing to the palace to meet the saint, but after being comforted by Cui Che for a few words, Liu Fang said goodbye so as not to disturb their family reunion.

In the main hall, there were only four people left, Cui Che, Cui Qiji, Cui Yanqing, and Cui Youzhi.

Since they are all blood relatives, Cui Che also plans to talk to them about what is in his heart.

He looked at his third son Cui Yanqing and called:
"Yanqing."

Cui Yanqing responded:

"The child is here."

Cui Che asked
"Before, you were the King of Liang. After that, I made you the King of Wu to paralyze the Sui people. Now I have changed you to the King of Shu. Do you understand the intention?"

Cui Yanqing said respectfully:

"Save it for me, my son. Now that the Shu land is newly attached, my father wants me to leave Chengdu. I must be optimistic about the Shu land for my father's sake and prevent it from causing chaos."

Cui Che nodded slightly and said again:
"But you won't be able to stay in Shu for long. The country of Tianfu in Shu, a place of great beauty, is not a good place for a feudal prince.

"In the future, when you have worked hard to govern Shu and achieved great results, I want to transfer you to another place. What will you think?"

Cui Yanqing looked startled, then replied:

"Everything my son has comes from his father. The thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness. How dare you complain."

Cui Che laughed and said:

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your kindness. This is what my father told your grandfather back then."

As he spoke, he looked at Cui Qiji and asked:
"Bodhisattva slave, if you were Yan Qing, would you complain and think that they are all my sons, so why should I prefer the prince?"

Cui Yanqing also immediately looked at Cui Qiji, waiting for his answer.

Cui Qiji pondered for a moment and said:
"Don't dare to deceive your father. The child will also feel unhappy about it."

Cui Che nodded and continued:
"So, Bodhisattva slave, you have to know that you are all my sons, but in order for you to avoid fratricide and sword-fighting in the future, I often favor you in my actions, causing Yanqing to be wronged.

"As a father, I never feel guilty for him.

"If one day your father dies and you sit on the throne, you must treat him well."

Cui Qiji panicked and said:

"My child only wants his father to be in good health and does not dare to think otherwise."

Cui Yanqing and Cui Youzhi also asked Cui Che not to say such ominous words.

Cui Che shook his head, looked directly at Cui Qiji, and said in a deep voice:
"promise me."

Cui Qiji swore:

"I will obey my father's teachings. I will live in harmony with my brothers in the future. I dare not mistreat my third brother. If I violate this oath, I will die under the thunder of heaven."

Cui Che nodded when he heard this and said to Cui Yanqing:

"This is the only thing a father can do for you."

Cui Yanqing was moved:
"My son thanks my father for protecting me. This time I enter Shu, I will not dare to be lazy. I will ensure long-term peace and stability in Shu."

Cui Che smiled and said:

"There is no need to rush to take up the post. I will stay in Luoyang for the time being to accompany my father for a while. When spring comes next year, it will not be too late to go again."

Immediately, Cui Che told the three of them about his plan to capture Huainan after the spring plowing next year.

Cui Qiji and Cui Yanqing successively guarded Xuzhou, knew Huainan quite well, and introduced Cui Che to the local customs.
